Ah, in the heady days when VHS was still the accepted norm! My first purchase was the Matrix, in that godawful cardbord case, first rental, Generals Daughter, both on the same day I bought my first (and now sadly defunct) Panasonic player. My son has Cats and Dogs on VHS, haven't got it on DVD yet, watched it yesterday.....Good God, I was amazed at how bad the picture quality was. And no surround sound either! DVD Forever Man!

HEY! I own the Digimon movie too. I rented it as a laugh and ended up liking it enough to spend 5 bucks on used. The bit where the one hacker kid gets a wicked case of the runs in the middle of trying to save the world because he ate the Beef Jerky shake was golden.

I'd prefer if only the producers made one whole season worth, "Grey's Anatomy". Loved that new show!! Just finished watching the first nine episodes. Apparently Australia will be screening the other four absence episodes that were not shown after the nine episodes in the U.S.

South Park: BL&U and Criterion Robocop were the first I ordered, but I bought The Matrix and The Spy Who Shagged Me while I was waiting for them (back when the format wasn't that popular and Virgin did two for £30 on all new releases).

And Peter, Fox are re-releasing the R1 two-discer of Fight Club if I remember rightly. It's the only one with all four commentary tracks.

If you go by the first "owned" DVDs I actually held in my hand, it would be Ghostbusters and The Princess Bride. Bought them on a Saturday at the mall the same day as my player.

However, earlier in the week (I think may have actually been the night before, can't remember for sure), knowing that I was going to buy the player, I ordered The Prince of Egypt and The Abyss from Amazon.

Star Trek: Insurrection was the first DVD I got (as a Christmas gift in 1999, same Christmas I got my DVD player), but the first one I bought myself was The Matrix, which I already owned on VHS, but for a movie that was that good, I thought that DVD was absolutely necessary. And it was indeed. But the first movie I ever watched on DVD was Entrapment, which I rented.
